He had come from Toronto on Thursday to close the cottage for the season and when he failed to keep en appointment, friends became alarmed and forc- ed an entrance into the dwelling about noon on Monday to find that he had passed away. Coroner J. W. Shaw, Clinton, stated that death dad been due to a heart attack some hours earlier. Perhaps the most widely known and highly respected member of Hayfield's summer colony, the deceased man was in his 67th year. He was born at Thames ford, Ont., being the eldest son of the late Rev. James Walter Hodgins and Alma Georgina Freele Hodgins. .As a, small child he lived in Bayfield while his father was rector of Trinity Church from 1885-1890, then moving to Seaforth when Rev. J. W. Hodgins • was appointed rector of St. Thomas Church. He graduated in Arts from Trinity College in 1904 and re- ceived his Mester of Arts degree a year later from the University of Toronto, In 1907 he received the degree of A.M. from Harvard University and took post -graduate study at Cambridge University. Prof. Hodgins was Master of St. Paul's School, Concord, from 1907-1920 Lecturer in Eng- lish at Trinity College from 1920- 1922, be was appointed Professor of English in 1924, which post he held until his retirement last Christmas. He was dean of resi- dence from 1921-1925. He had the happy faculty of being both teacher and friend to students. Prof. Hodgins was a member of the senate of the University of Toronto, During the First World War he served with the S.S.U. 5 Field Ambulance, 5th French Army, and held the Medallle Commemora- tive. He resided at 34 Ridge Drs Toronto, and was a mem- tar of -the Granite and Harvard Club. Members of the family have revisited Hayfield each summer since their residence in the Rec- tory here, About 25 years ago, Prof. Hodgins built a summer home on Bayfield Terrace. He took an active part in Trinity Church and community efforts during Ws residence here. Surviving are two sisters: Miss Mabel Hodgins, Toronto; and Mrs. A. C, MacNeil, Cleveland, Ohio, to whom the sympathy of the community is extended. The burial service was held in St. Paul's Church, Stratford, of which his father was a former rector, on Wednesday at two o'clock and interment . made in the family plot in Avondale Cemetery, Stratford.

Hol- mes $14.10 and Mrs. R. Bulteel $12.25. Miss Cuninghame stated that there had been some misunder- standing about the teas andthat the committee hoped that the ladies understood that they could go to es many teas as they wish- ed and have as many as they wished providing that they limit- ed it to their own ward, "The more teas there are, the more money will be made for the hos- pital Work." Mrs. C. Sturdy re- ported that to date the country groups had been too busy to start the teas, but she hoped that they 'soon would be able to. A motion was passed to interview the Hospital Board regarding the possibility of having a Hospital Aid member on the Board.

Knight, manager, Clinton Rural Operating Area, Hydro -Electric Power Contmission of Ontario, stated today. • Both voluntary reductions and compulsory cut-offs have failed to bring the local consumption down to the required quota set by the Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Compulsory Cut-offs The letter have been in opera- tion for some time now. In the town, 'there have been compulsory cut-offs, daily from Monday through Friday, from 12 to 1 o'clock, and from 6.30 to 7.30 p.m. In the rural area, hourly cut- offs have been "staggered" • throughout the various sub- divisions. The situation remains serious, end the continued co-operation of every power user is absolutely necessary. Back on Steam A definite step in the right direction was taken to -day when the large local plant of Sherlock - Manning Pianos Limited, went back to its steam plant which formerly operated the plant. This. will mean a slight saving in the over-all picture in Clinton. Even on Monday, Thanksgiving Day, when all local industries were shut down, Clinton's quota of 9,100 kilowatt-hours was ex- ceeded. However, there were no cut-offs at noon and at 6.30 p.m, Close at 5 p.m, Wingham, Goderich and Sea - forth ere among towns that have decided to close all places of business at '5 p.m. from Monday through Friday, and at 9 pen.
